Ile gave some comparative lists of words of the Indian languages, tracing analogies in the Mongolian, Celtic, and Hebrew tongues, and said there exists a great resemblance in the gram matical structure of the chief modern languages in the north and in the south of India, proofs of which tle produced from the Hindi, Beng,ali, Cujerati, Mahrati on the one side, und from Telugu, Carnatica, Tamil, and Singhalese on the other. He thinks that there is more agreetnent in construction witlt the Turkish than with the S inskrit, so that he believed it likely that the original language of India may be the connecting link between what the Germans have called the Indo-Germanic family and tho Turki-11 family of Imiguages.—Dr. Buist ; Max Muller's Rep.
